G.Skill’s 8 GB DDR3-1600 CAS 9 kit has shown up on our list of value-oriented heavyweights for over two years, its reputation placing it in second place behind a similar 4 GB kit in Newegg’s customer rankings.

Second only to Crucial's 64 GB version on Newegg's consumer rankings, the company's 128 GB m4 SSD achieves ample performance in our review of the product to garner yet another award. So far, these choices are looking like a who's who of Tom's Hardware favorites.

The newer 448-core GeForce GTX 560 Ti created so much excitement that many reviewers forgot about the original 384-core version. Newegg customers didn't forget, though, making it the second choice behind a weaker and more budget-friendly GeForce GTS 550 Ti.

As an added bonus, this better-performing card is a lifetime-warranty-equipped “AR” version from EVGA.

While we normally use parts we’ve reviewed in these guides, Intel’s DZ68BC slipped under our radar. Fortunately for Intel, Newegg’s customers think it’s the best available part, and we're going with those opinions today.

Antec’s Nine Hundred has been in our arsenal since 2006, making numerous appearances in System Builder Marathon machines as well. This updated model adds USB 3.0 with the all-important internal cable connector, which helps to explain why it’s still the favorite of Newegg customers.

Honestly, if you're a super (rich) enthusiast wanting to play games at 2560x1600, you're probably more likely to drop money on the best kit. For the majority of enthusiast gamers though, 1080p at Ultra detail settings is absolutely fine. Qudos for trying this out, Nvidia's #60 branded cards in SLI have really struck a chord with the gaming community, they offer sweet performance per dollar, and outclass the top end single GPU solutions in most situations, power inefficiency is a trade-off that most gamers are prepared to make. Looking forward to seeing what Nvidia pull out of the bag for the 660's.
